Support groups for visitors of residents in nursing homes.
Contrary to popular myth, family members expressed the desire to be involved with loved ones residing in nursing homes. Open and continuous communication between the nursing staff and family members reduces anxiety and promotes beneficial results to nursing home residents. Although family members want to be kept informed about any changes in their loved one's status, they find it difficult to deal with mental deterioration and need additional support from the nursing staff.
Institutional goal analysis: an approach to program evaluation.
Although nursing literature discusses the importance of goals in nursing, little if any research has been conducted on the subject. Many of the studies focusing on nursing education deal with faculty turnover, effectiveness of various types of nursing programs, and the role and functions of the nurse. To better understand these problems, an understanding of the current goals of various nursing programs is needed. This can establish a basis on which to explore other problems in nursing education and the nursing profession. Conducting an analysis of goals on a nursing program not only contributes to the profession of nursing but also benefits the individual schools by revealing areas of goal incongruency within each program. The use of the Institutional Goals Inventory is recommended for evaluation of all nursing programs. It can be useful not only to baccalaureate educators, but also to those involved in associate degree and diploma education as well as graduate nursing education. After identifying areas of goal consensus and differences, a delphi approach can be utilized to solve problems and establish relevant and realistic goals.
